Police WERE completely commercial
Hi everybody again from Giovanni in Milan, Italy. I want to point out on the commercial side of Sting track; why do you all keep on blaming Sting to be 'too commercial' as he has always been completely commercial since the days of The Police? I'm sure that this is absolutely not the best track on Sting career, but I want to remind that Zenyatta Mondatta has been written ONLY FOR COMMERCIAL PURPOSES....and it's a great album. Sure time has changed, and the magic of the Police is something different, but I can assure you that MILES has always worked on a commercial side of the Police releases, as well as Sting, Stewart Copeland and Andy Summers. This commercial attitude has brought Sting to work on something many of us won't like, but it's exactly the same attitude he had with The Police. I remember very well the times some friends of mine asked me why I was listening again to the Police when Zenyatta Mondatta was released, as many of them considered the band already sold to the 'commercial world'; when Synchronicity came out, many fans told me they were Police fans until Reggatta De Blanc, and after that they considered SHIT everything the Police did...I am talking about 1981/1983.... STING HAS ALWAYS BEEN COMMERCIAL, has always done tv ads (check teh tv ad he did in Japan in 1985/1986) and tried to make money on this way too. And I can only agree.... Ciao ciao Giovanni
